For the last 18 years, Zeitgeist and I have, in the wise words of Billy Paul, had \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKCmCBM0i0E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A Thing Going On\u003c/a>. Our connection goes beyond the strength and unfathomable deliciousness of the margaritas. It goes beyond my love for a greasy grilled cheese on a sunny Saturday. And it has even survived the unforgivable decision to take the best fried potatoes in the Mission off the menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last three months of COVID-related closures, it is Zeitgeist's that I've found the hardest to stomach. (At one point last month, I even contacted a bartender to see if he could push for a margarita take-out system like the one \u003ca href=\"https://theeparkside.bigcartel.com/product/guava-margarita-cocktail-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thee Parkside\u003c/a> has been running.) Needless to say, when Zeitgeist finally opened back up—for three hours on Friday, June 12—I was one of the first in line.

(At least it wasn't when I went.) Patrons are encouraged to stay for one hour only, due to demand and limited space, but you have the option of buying to-go.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Before two people could sit at the same table as me and my companion, our permission was politely asked by a member of staff. As soon as that couple departed, the staff member rushed back to disinfect the table and benches.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>It was all unceasingly, extraordinarily \u003cem>unnatural\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13882083\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-13882083\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/06/zeit-rules-800x400.jpg\" alt=\"Zeitgeist's rules and regulations in the time of COVID-19.\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zeitgeist's rules and regulations in the time of COVID-19. | Rae Alexandra / KQED\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"I don't like it,\" my friend said to me before we'd even sat down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nobody likes it,\" I replied. \"But it's better than nothing. They're just trying to keep us safe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it was then that the darkest reality of the \"new normal\" hit me. It hit me more than three months of sheltering in place; more than working from home; and more than hanging out with only two other humans for almost 100 days. Our current predicament is so dire that it has turned Zeitgeist—\u003cem>Zeitgeist!\u003c/em>—into a place that genuinely and thoroughly cares about our safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is most definitely \u003cem>not\u003c/em> why I fell in love with Zeitgeist. I fell in love with the bar because when I first moved to San Francisco in 2002, the noisy black box on the corner of Valencia and Duboce was unlike anything in my native UK. It was a punk rock haven ideally suited to the day-drinking my more disreputable friends and I favored. And its air of unencumbered mayhem endured even in daylight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I fell in love with Zeitgeist because, for regulars at least, it always felt like a dysfunctional family. For the weekend crowd, the idea persists that Zeitgeist bartenders are the surliest in the city. (The tag \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pg/ZeitgeistSF/reviews/?ref=page_internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rude Bartenders\u003c/a>\" continues to appear on its Facebook page). And while that's not without just cause—I once saw a bartender yell at a woman to \"\u003cem>Get the f--k out if you can't f--king read!\u003c/em>\" because she had the audacity to ask if they served Blue Moon—regular clientele have always enjoyed an easy banter with the staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2009, I had a brief stint working at Zeitgeist to supplement my freelance writing income. I was a \"yard dog\"—a role that appears, based on my recent visits, to no longer exist. My shifts were long, boring and almost unbearably cold. During that same year, I had an even briefer stint living upstairs in Zeitgeist's \"hotel.\" I can confirm that my room was tiny, came with zero kitchen facilities and shook whenever a truck rumbled past on the freeway. But still the noise from the yard downstairs always soothed me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Changes at Zeitgeist are frequently greeted with sadness by those most attached to it. In March 2010, when the kitchen's beloved smoker got retired—one can only guess at how many burgers came out of that thing over the years—staff members were so bereft, they took turns posing for photos with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13882086\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 530px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-13882086\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/06/1916656_374092588643_2195921_n.jpg\" alt=\"Zeitgeist staff bidding farewell to the beloved smoker, March 2010.\" width=\"530\" height=\"450\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zeitgeist staff bidding farewell to the beloved smoker, March 2010. | Courtesy of Jef Hoskins\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Changes have been pretty relentless ever since. First there came a rule about not smoking on the back porch. Then came clean and flushable bathrooms in the yard instead of the Porta Potties. Then, it was a fancy new bar set up with more taps and back windows so that people could order from the porch. Then came that stupid electronic screen above the kitchen, so people knew when their food was ready. (Whatever happened to just yelling?) Did I mention they took the best fried potatoes in the Mission off the menu? (#NeverForget)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure all of these things sound, in theory, like improvements. But, for a lot of us, the new shine on Zeitgeist has erased a lot of the grime we loved it so much for in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I will always return. Because the juke box never changes. The drinks are still some of the best (read: strongest) in the city. And because—despite a mass exodus of longterm staff last year—there are still always familiar faces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zeitgeist's new normal is shocking, even after months of other COVID-related surrealities. And it scares me to think how long socializing is going to look this regimented, even in places known for being freewheeling dives. But alarmed as I was by the alien nature of Zeitgeist's new set-up, one new item on the menu let me know that the bar I've loved for so long is still hiding under all those new regulations: a 32-ounce margarita, equivalent to two regular sized ones, served in a mason jar. Because, in the end, Zeitgeist still knows that its margaritas are the best in the city. It still knows that one is never enough. And it's still, despite everything, doing its very best under terrible circumstances to do what it's always done best: get you good and drunk.

For the last 18 years, Zeitgeist and I have, in the wise words of Billy Paul, had \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKCmCBM0i0E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A Thing Going On\u003c/a>. Our connection goes beyond the strength and unfathomable deliciousness of the margaritas. It goes beyond my love for a greasy grilled cheese on a sunny Saturday. And it has even survived the unforgivable decision to take the best fried potatoes in the Mission off the menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last three months of COVID-related closures, it is Zeitgeist's that I've found the hardest to stomach. (At one point last month, I even contacted a bartender to see if he could push for a margarita take-out system like the one \u003ca href=\"https://theeparkside.bigcartel.com/product/guava-margarita-cocktail-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thee Parkside\u003c/a> has been running.) Needless to say, when Zeitgeist finally opened back up—for three hours on Friday, June 12—I was one of the first in line. But what greeted me was jarring to say the least.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The process of getting a drink in Zeitgeist currently looks like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Patrons enter through the back door, directly into the yard. The inside is not currently accessible to anyone but staff.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Once inside the yard, the line follows a winding path of appropriately distanced markers, leading to an outside desk in front of what is usually the bicycle rack (No bikes are permitted at this time).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In order to purchase any beverage, you must also purchase food, since Zeitgeist is currently operating as a restaurant.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>After you place your order, it's electronically transferred to both the bar and kitchen staff.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>For the first time ever, you can now pay with a credit card.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Tables (maximum: six people) are separated by large glass doors, with smaller benches (maximum: three people) perched at the end of each row.\u003cbr>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13882148\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 579px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-13882148\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-17-at-1.54.19-PM.png\" alt=\"The Zeitgeist back yard with COVID precautions.\" width=\"579\" height=\"480\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Zeitgeist back yard with COVID precautions. | Rae Alexandra / KQED\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Prominent, laminated instructions for patrons are posted at each table, along with warnings about the consequences of stickers, tagging and other things the world has come to expect inside Zeitgeist.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Due to the long line to get in, it is not possible to place more than one order per visit. (At least it wasn't when I went.) Patrons are encouraged to stay for one hour only, due to demand and limited space, but you have the option of buying to-go.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Before two people could sit at the same table as me and my companion, our permission was politely asked by a member of staff. As soon as that couple departed, the staff member rushed back to disinfect the table and benches.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>It was all unceasingly, extraordinarily \u003cem>unnatural\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13882083\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-13882083\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/06/zeit-rules-800x400.jpg\" alt=\"Zeitgeist's rules and regulations in the time of COVID-19.\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zeitgeist's rules and regulations in the time of COVID-19. | Rae Alexandra / KQED\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"I don't like it,\" my friend said to me before we'd even sat down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nobody likes it,\" I replied. \"But it's better than nothing. They're just trying to keep us safe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it was then that the darkest reality of the \"new normal\" hit me. It hit me more than three months of sheltering in place; more than working from home; and more than hanging out with only two other humans for almost 100 days. Our current predicament is so dire that it has turned Zeitgeist—\u003cem>Zeitgeist!\u003c/em>—into a place that genuinely and thoroughly cares about our safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is most definitely \u003cem>not\u003c/em> why I fell in love with Zeitgeist. I fell in love with the bar because when I first moved to San Francisco in 2002, the noisy black box on the corner of Valencia and Duboce was unlike anything in my native UK. It was a punk rock haven ideally suited to the day-drinking my more disreputable friends and I favored. And its air of unencumbered mayhem endured even in daylight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I fell in love with Zeitgeist because, for regulars at least, it always felt like a dysfunctional family. For the weekend crowd, the idea persists that Zeitgeist bartenders are the surliest in the city. (The tag \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pg/ZeitgeistSF/reviews/?ref=page_internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rude Bartenders\u003c/a>\" continues to appear on its Facebook page). And while that's not without just cause—I once saw a bartender yell at a woman to \"\u003cem>Get the f--k out if you can't f--king read!\u003c/em>\" because she had the audacity to ask if they served Blue Moon—regular clientele have always enjoyed an easy banter with the staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2009, I had a brief stint working at Zeitgeist to supplement my freelance writing income. I was a \"yard dog\"—a role that appears, based on my recent visits, to no longer exist. My shifts were long, boring and almost unbearably cold. During that same year, I had an even briefer stint living upstairs in Zeitgeist's \"hotel.\" I can confirm that my room was tiny, came with zero kitchen facilities and shook whenever a truck rumbled past on the freeway. But still the noise from the yard downstairs always soothed me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Changes at Zeitgeist are frequently greeted with sadness by those most attached to it. In March 2010, when the kitchen's beloved smoker got retired—one can only guess at how many burgers came out of that thing over the years—staff members were so bereft, they took turns posing for photos with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13882086\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 530px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-13882086\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/06/1916656_374092588643_2195921_n.jpg\" alt=\"Zeitgeist staff bidding farewell to the beloved smoker, March 2010.\" width=\"530\" height=\"450\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zeitgeist staff bidding farewell to the beloved smoker, March 2010. | Courtesy of Jef Hoskins\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Changes have been pretty relentless ever since. First there came a rule about not smoking on the back porch. Then came clean and flushable bathrooms in the yard instead of the Porta Potties. Then, it was a fancy new bar set up with more taps and back windows so that people could order from the porch. Then came that stupid electronic screen above the kitchen, so people knew when their food was ready. (Whatever happened to just yelling?) Did I mention they took the best fried potatoes in the Mission off the menu? (#NeverForget)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure all of these things sound, in theory, like improvements. But, for a lot of us, the new shine on Zeitgeist has erased a lot of the grime we loved it so much for in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I will always return. Because the juke box never changes. The drinks are still some of the best (read: strongest) in the city. And because—despite a mass exodus of longterm staff last year—there are still always familiar faces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zeitgeist's new normal is shocking, even after months of other COVID-related surrealities. And it scares me to think how long socializing is going to look this regimented, even in places known for being freewheeling dives. But alarmed as I was by the alien nature of Zeitgeist's new set-up, one new item on the menu let me know that the bar I've loved for so long is still hiding under all those new regulations: a 32-ounce margarita, equivalent to two regular sized ones, served in a mason jar. Because, in the end, Zeitgeist still knows that its margaritas are the best in the city. It still knows that one is never enough. And it's still, despite everything, doing its very best under terrible circumstances to do what it's always done best: get you good and drunk. For that, I am grateful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/137547/how-zeitgeist-helped-me-understand-the-new-normal","authors":["11242"],"categories":["bayareabites_17082"],"tags":["bayareabites_772","bayareabites_1964","bayareabites_16549","bayareabites_16545","bayareabites_16639","bayareabites_16557","bayareabites_13415"],"featImg":"bayareabites_137550","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_135754":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_135754","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"135754","score":null,"sort":[1575406155000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"the-kon-tikis-new-bar-and-restaurant-promises-american-tropical-fantasy","title":"The Kon-Tiki's New Bar and Restaurant Promises 'American Tropical' Fantasy","publishDate":1575406155,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Coming early next year to the former Fauna and Flora spaces in the historic Oakland Floral Depot building are two bars and a restaurant by the team behind The Kon-Tiki.

Tiki bars, which have had a long standing presence in the Bay Area, have enjoyed a resurgence as of late since their 1930s debut and their 1960s, post-World War II heyday. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“For us, it was really important to not be trying to project some sort of fantasia of cultural appropriation that came on the heels of colonialism,” Avialiotis says. “It was really important to think about our point of reference being the tiki bar itself. That it was a cultural phenomenon that is specifically American that did draw on all these cultures in a way that was problematic. So towards that end, we tried to source art that made you think of tiki but not any sort of specific Polynesian place.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Their food menu is also a place Avialiotis points to as different than the more problematic versions of tiki bars where Chinese food is served under a loose appropriative “Asian” umbrella. “What we wanted to do to differentiate ourselves was to create a food menu that spoke to being a relevant restaurant,” he explains “Thinking about how our meat is sourced, what vegetables are in season and how are they prepared.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Having said all that, Avialiotis distinguishes The Kon-Tiki Room at Palmetto from the original Kon-Tiki as more nautical than tropical and says, “The idea will be that you’re stepping off of a boat into a little shanty town and you’re just drinking booch at the local bar at the shanty town.” While it’ll be challenging to turn a glimmering art deco building into a “shanty town”, equally as troublesome is that intention in the first place. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to its owners, the Kon-Tiki so far has been well-received by Oakland residents and issues of around tiki’s less palatable origins have been limited to \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/letters-of-the-week-our-readers-chime-in-on-last-weeks-issue/Content?oid=13456547\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">a letter to the editor\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> at the\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> East Bay Express\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, specifically regarding two alcoholic drinks named “Virgin’s Downfall” and “Virgin’s Suicide” at the Kon-Tiki. “An important distinction that gets overlooked is there’s an apostrophe,” Avialiotis explains, “It’s not sacrificing a virgin. It’s the thing that a virgin is sacrificing. So it’s sort of a stupid wordplay. It’s not the downfall because the virgin is thrown in the volcano, it’s what the virgin has given up.” Reagan also adds that virgin is not a gendered term but it’s hard to imagine those drink names existing without ire at non-tiki menus in town. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Am I going to put a drink with the name virgin [and] apostrophe “s” on it at the new restaurant?” Avialiotis asks. “Probably not.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"The team behind The Kon-Tiki plans to transform the former Fauna and Flora spaces into a new restaurant that is ‘more nautical than tropical.’\r\n","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1575408108,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":11,"wordCount":858},"headData":{"title":"The Kon-Tiki's New Bar and Restaurant Promises 'American Tropical' Fantasy | KQED","description":"The team behind The Kon-Tiki plans to transform the former Fauna and Flora spaces into a new restaurant that is ‘more nautical than tropical.’\r\n","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"The Kon-Tiki's New Bar and Restaurant Promises 'American Tropical' Fantasy","datePublished":"2019-12-03T20:49:15.000Z","dateModified":"2019-12-03T21:21:48.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"disqusIdentifier":"135754 https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/?p=135754","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2019/12/03/the-kon-tikis-new-bar-and-restaurant-promises-american-tropical-fantasy/","disqusTitle":"The Kon-Tiki's New Bar and Restaurant Promises 'American Tropical' Fantasy","path":"/bayareabites/135754/the-kon-tikis-new-bar-and-restaurant-promises-american-tropical-fantasy","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Coming early next year to the former Fauna and Flora spaces in the historic Oakland Floral Depot building are two bars and a restaurant by the team behind The Kon-Tiki.

That it was a cultural phenomenon that is specifically American that did draw on all these cultures in a way that was problematic. So towards that end, we tried to source art that made you think of tiki but not any sort of specific Polynesian place.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Their food menu is also a place Avialiotis points to as different than the more problematic versions of tiki bars where Chinese food is served under a loose appropriative “Asian” umbrella. “What we wanted to do to differentiate ourselves was to create a food menu that spoke to being a relevant restaurant,” he explains “Thinking about how our meat is sourced, what vegetables are in season and how are they prepared.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Having said all that, Avialiotis distinguishes The Kon-Tiki Room at Palmetto from the original Kon-Tiki as more nautical than tropical and says, “The idea will be that you’re stepping off of a boat into a little shanty town and you’re just drinking booch at the local bar at the shanty town.” While it’ll be challenging to turn a glimmering art deco building into a “shanty town”, equally as troublesome is that intention in the first place. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to its owners, the Kon-Tiki so far has been well-received by Oakland residents and issues of around tiki’s less palatable origins have been limited to \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/letters-of-the-week-our-readers-chime-in-on-last-weeks-issue/Content?oid=13456547\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">a letter to the editor\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> at the\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> East Bay Express\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, specifically regarding two alcoholic drinks named “Virgin’s Downfall” and “Virgin’s Suicide” at the Kon-Tiki. “An important distinction that gets overlooked is there’s an apostrophe,” Avialiotis explains, “It’s not sacrificing a virgin. It’s the thing that a virgin is sacrificing. So it’s sort of a stupid wordplay. It’s not the downfall because the virgin is thrown in the volcano, it’s what the virgin has given up.” Reagan also adds that virgin is not a gendered term but it’s hard to imagine those drink names existing without ire at non-tiki menus in town. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Am I going to put a drink with the name virgin [and] apostrophe “s” on it at the new restaurant?” Avialiotis asks. “Probably not.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/135754/the-kon-tikis-new-bar-and-restaurant-promises-american-tropical-fantasy","authors":["11625"],"categories":["bayareabites_13306","bayareabites_1244","bayareabites_8770","bayareabites_11028","bayareabites_366"],"tags":["bayareabites_772","bayareabites_9710","bayareabites_14775","bayareabites_14757","bayareabites_16510","bayareabites_15606"],"featImg":"bayareabites_135768","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_129981":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_129981","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"129981","score":null,"sort":[1533159387000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"5-drinks-to-drink-when-youre-not-drinking","title":"5 Drinks to Drink When You’re Not Drinking","publishDate":1533159387,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>Whether you're trying to cut out alcohol from your diet for health reasons or are sober and just don't drink, period, grabbing a drink with friends after work can be tough when everyone else is cheers-ing a full glass of booze right in front of your face. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's why we've pulled together a list of low or no-proof concoctions so that you can still partake in the after-work and weekend festivities.

A long hug. Let me backtrack. I’m from Healdsburg, a fifth-generation rarity who moved to San Francisco almost 10 years ago and only travels back home sporadically. Every time I do, though, I find that another friend, or pair of friends, or group of friends, has opened up or is planning on opening up a cool new spot in my hometown. Bergamot Alley is one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The brainchild of Kevin Wardell, formerly a sommelier at \u003ca href=\"http://www.flourandwater.com/\">flour + water\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.a16sf.com/\">A16\u003c/a>, and his partner Sarah Johnson, Bergamot Alley looks like it was born of a machine shop and an artistic city-slicker. The lofty space on Healdsburg Avenue was formerly a jumbled antiques mall filled with woodstoves and tractor parts, and the original brick walls have been carefully exposed. The 17-foot ceilings are finished in their original tin from 1896. Because the building is one of Healdsburg’s oldest, Wardell says, it has a certain landmark status that inspired the décor. In the walls: a wooden brick here, a tin patch there, small iron bars jutting out at random angles. The “wallscape” somehow works together, with a collection of air gardens climbing the bricks and vending-machine bouncing balls shoved onto the ends of the iron bars to turn them into functional coat and purse racks. A plaster wall that divides Bergamot Alley from its next-door-neighbor sports decals by Telluride, CO-based artist Nathan Frerichs, the whimsical squid and octopus looking as at home here in the Dry Creek Valley as they would on a T-shirt sold on Haight Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/owners560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/owners560.jpg\" alt=\"owners: Sarah Johnson and Kevin Wardell.

Pretty fun too, if you ask me, but I once had a therapist who told me otherwise. An adventure in the company of friends, on the other hand, promises shared experience, a way to fortify and express friendship. In either case, setting means a lot. Draining a few beers on a weekday evening at a dive three blocks from my house is a pleasant, if fairly pedestrian activity. I pair it with a game I want to watch, or someone I'd like to see. It's technically going out, but too close to home to feel very exciting. If I’m making a night of it, I prefer to leave my neighborhood and go somewhere far from the places I do laundry, buy groceries, and wait for buses, a setting where I won't see anyone I don't want to see, or suffer the irritating, familiar personalities populating the Mission on weekend nights. I also like going somewhere where good eats await in the early morning hours. When I can, I go to Chinatown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm aware white people have been pursuing \"exotic\" vice on Grant St. for a century-and-a-half. I don't feel part of this tradition. At least, I’d hate to be some obnoxious urban explorer strolling jauntily down narrow stone streets, ducking red lanterns, hoping to catch a whiff of opium sliding out from under a door as I head to \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/li-po-cocktail-lounge-san-francisco\">Li Po Lounge\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/buddha-lounge-san-francisco\">Buddha Bar\u003c/a> to sip the same drinks I can order anywhere else. I don't fantasize about gambling dens teeming with shady characters. I've read up on the salacious criminal history of the place and seen a few movies, but the allure has little to do with Chinatown's past, and a lot more to do with its present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At around 7:30 on Friday night, I crossed the intersection of Grant and Bush, and walked up the hill, under the Dragon Gate. As I walked north, past a parade of seafood restaurants with their dedicated hawkers trumpeting specials outside and drab shops selling cheap baubles and katana blades, a procession of tourists headed in the other direction, back toward their Union Square hotels. Families with sulking teens dragging behind, elderly couples in hiking boots and bad hats -- they were finishing up their visits to the hallowed strip. They had snapped their pictures, scarfed their expensive dim sum lunches, and purchased a few curiosities to haul home. Dusk was settling down. They were exiting the premises, relinquishing it to the locals and anyone else coming through. It felt like a reverse commute. By 8:30, the streets were nearly empty, and I was at the Buddha Bar with a friend, my hand wrapped around an extremely cold bottle of Budweiser. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Save for us and the bartender, the bar was empty too. A few hours and several drinks later, other actors had entered the scene: a strange, lurching man with gigantic headphones covering his ears and an inability to stay upright on his stool for more than a few minutes, a tall, talkative blond lady, and a waitress in a red dress from the restaurant next door. The waitress was talking shit to the bartender, singing badly and loudly along with \u003ca href=\"http://earbuds.popdose.com/dunphy/RighteousBrothers.jpg\">The Righteous Brothers\u003c/a> emanating from the petrified jukebox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>You lost that lovin’ feeling\u003cbr>\nWhoa, that lovin’ feeling.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>By 11 p.m., the blond lady was playing \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liar's_dice\">Liar's Dice\u003c/a> with the bartender. If she lost, he said, she would remove some clothing. If he lost, she said, he'd pour ten free drinks. She won and passed the cherry-topped cocktails out like grocery store samples. The lurching man was gone. The waitress left and came back again. She knew the blond lady; they had cigarette after cigarette outside, cackling. The blond lady had just returned from Vegas, where she'd ditched a wealthy boyfriend only after running up a monstrous tab on their luxury suite. She was drowning out the wheezy jukebox chattering on about the boyfriend and others she'd had. The bar was her stage, the customers her captive audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Buddha, the bathroom is down a flight of stairs, past stacks of empty boxes. The bartender dutifully buzzes open the lock for each costumer requiring relief, a task he repeats over a hundred times nightly. More people were streaming in now -- a weary, beach-scorched couple having a nightcap, a bunch of noisy bros who'd cabbed over from a Polk Street meat market -- and suddenly the skinny little bar packed with bodies. Every three seconds, the Liar's Dice cup slammed down on the bar and someone screamed in horror or joy above the din. The weird, jerky rhythmic pattern of buzzer and cup was coming at me in stereo---the former honking in one ear, the latter banging away in the other. An hour before closing, we moved onto the more spacious Li Po Lounge across the street, where the mixed drinks taste like rubbing alcohol and the booths in the back are covered in sleazy vinyl the color of fingernail paint. As we squeaked and slid around a table in the back, I flashed on a flickering memory of a night in 2003 when some friends visited from New York and danced from table-top to table-top, hopping like frogs. I wasn’t sure if the memory was real, but it was in my head all the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 2:30 a.m., my friend and I finally had what we hadn’t realized we’d been waiting for: a hearty “dinfast,” that blurry, yet satisfying repast enjoyed between closing time and dawn by witless forgot-to-eat-before-I-drank party people and late-shift toilers alike. My friend had been to \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/yuet-lee-san-francisco\">Yuet Lee\u003c/a> (1300 Stockton at Broadway) on a few prior occasions. In spite of my eight years in the city and occasional forays into Chinatown, I was a newbie, making a discovery I probably should have soaked up half a decade earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yuet Lee has a Coca-Cola sign above the door. In what seemed like one minute, I went from leaning against a pole outside of Li Po to sitting on a chair at a brown Formica table inside a bright spare dining room, craning back my neck and twisting my head in order to see the specials board without my glasses. I opened the fat menu and gazed at the dish descriptions. The letters, numbers, and characters started to undulate across the pages. My friend reached over and quickly closed it. The specials were the thing, it seemed, and that was fine by me. At that point, anything hot and greasy was fine by me. In the center of the room, a table of uniformed cops bellied up to a spread of brown-sauced noodles on white plates. Several beleaguered couples in party attire languished in the corner, chewing on spareribs. The restaurant was really bright, seemingly brighter every second, as if the lights were being turned up as the clock ticked along. I suppose that is typical of late-night establishments. Harsh florescents keep the drunks from falling asleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our food arrived almost immediately after we placed our order. A glistening, pale nest of rings, tentacles, and assorted indeterminable bits, the peppery fried squid had a lovely crunch. The lip-stinging saltiness was oddly refreshing after the evening’s liquid diet. I recall a heap of noodles less vividly. They were very thin and yellowish, coated in a dry sauce redolent of curry. Slices of barbecued pork poked out from the tangles, along with half-circles of soft onion. I could have eaten buckets of this, in part because sucking up the clumps of noodles required such little effort. Though tastier, the mango chicken was harder to finish. In my state, I had a hard time getting my grease-slicked chopsticks to hold on to each slippery chunk of mango. Eating at the breakneck speed my liquor-logged stomach demanded was impossible under the circumstances, and at times, the constant tumbling of food from stick to table or napkin-shrouded lap was so maddening I couldn’t focus on the flavors. After it fell for the third time, I picked one errant morsel right off the table with my fingers. Whenever I managed to get mango and chicken in the same bite though, the pay-off -- sweet, half-melted fruit and tender thigh meat -- made up for the ordeal. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chinatown is both physically and psychologically distant from my usual digs, stuck in the center of the busiest part of the city, yet remote at the same time. It’s on a different time-table. Overrun by tourists during the day, Grant Street is comparatively serene at night, unlike my neighborhood, which, apart from folks taking photos of the murals along 24th St., draws larger crowds when the sun drops down. As a general rule, I prefer going in when most people are going out, and for that, there’s no place like Chinatown after 9 p.m. I’ll never head across town for a burrito, even if it’s amazing, because I live in the Mission, but I will take two forms of public transportation in order to drink a Budweiser -- the most ubiquitous of mediocre bar beers -- in the right place.
